want to accomplish through my gifts, skills, passions, experiences, that will bring
glory to YOUR Name and expand YOUR Kingdom?

VISION NEEDS A VESSEL
II Corinthians 4: 6-7
The good news is: When God decided to accomplish His Vision and Purpose on
the earth – He made YOU!
What is in your life right now – that would have a wrestling match with what
God wants to put in? Is there something in your life that can’t co-exist with the
Vision and Purpose from a Holy God?
Nehemiah 2: 16-20
Vision: What should happen, needs to happen, must happen for God’s will to be done
and for Him to be glorified in your heart, your family, your work, your community?
